What Is The Cooking Time For A Leg Of Lamb?
The cooking time for a leg of lamb depends on the weight and desired level of doneness of the meat. As a general rule, a bone-in leg of lamb should be cooked at 325°F (165°C) for 15-20 minutes per pound for medium-rare, 20-25 minutes per pound for medium, and 25-30 minutes per pound for well-done. An instant-read thermometer can be used to check the internal temperature of the meat, which should be 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, and 160°F (71°C) for well-done. Let the lamb rest for at least 10-15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
